A clock recently patented in France is in
imitation of tambourine, on the parch-
ment head of which is painted a circle of
flowers, corresponding to the hour figures Of
ordinary dials. On examination two bees,
one large and the other small, are discov-
cred crawling among the flowers The small
bee runs rapidly from one flower to another,
completing the circle in an hour, while the
large one takes twelve hours to complete the
circuit. The parchment surface is I'M
broken and the bees simply laid upon it, but
two magnets connected with the clock work
inside the tambourine move just under the
membrane, and the insects, which are of
iron, follow them.

4 STRANGE TRAGEDY REVEALED BY THE FINDING OF
woAANs SKELETON IN A MICHIGAN TOWN.
The Ann Arbor, Mich, papers appear to have
solved the mystery OF the insanity OF honest John
Federman, railroad employe at Monroe juno
ton. He became insane three years ago, and
feared trouble being made about "that woman
there" This summer the skeleton Of woman
was found In the woods 3 miles east of Peters
burg and 2 miles from Monroe Junction. 1t had
evidently been placed where found after death.
After some time 1t was recognized as having the
dress, teeth hair, and shoes OF Mrs. Prentiss, who
disappeared from East Milan in March, 1884. Mrs
Prentiss had disagreed With her husband and left
home. She had not Sufficient money with her to
pay her fare. The theory OF many was that she
attempted to walk to Toledo, where she had an
uncle living. At this time Federman was poison
ing foxes along the railroad with Strychnne placed
IN meat. It was supposed that She found and ate
some OF this poisoned meat, and Federman found
her, and, horror-strIcken, hid her body where 1t
has just been found. This theory would explain
his insanity, his remarks about 'that woman down
there, his mutterings about strychnine for foxes
and his fear OF the officers. Acting on impulse he
hid the secret, which weighed SO heavily upon his
mind that 1t drove him into an insane asylum
